Just curious what other parents have to say in managing expectations. My ideal club/team would include the following:
1. Skill appropriate Keeper training 2 days a week from a solid trainer
2. A coach that works and teaches possession style soccer teaching both team and Keeper how to play it appropriately
3. A coach with the desire to and understanding how to develop the Keeper on the field including decisions in field play, decisions in goal and angles etc.
4. A coach that knows how and does an appropriate Keeper warm up for every game
5. A coach with a passion to develop
6. A coach that knows how to develop a team that supports each other
7. A team that works hard together and has fun together
8. Of course a desirable location would be great too
Do you get the above on a DPL, DA, and ECNL team or is that a hit or miss? Our club experience has been that we don't get many of the above items and I am just wondering what items in my ideal list do I knock off the list because my expectations are too high. My daughter is an 06 Keeper and her goal is to play College Soccer. She is currently playing up 2 years and has risen to the occasion because she loves the challenge. She is a nut! Right now she just wants to get better and works at it all of the time. Whatever information you can provide would be greatly appreciated as I try and help guide her in her path. Thanks in advance!
